Radiant Tear has been a prisoner of his mind for over 1000 years now. He was forced to build his own reality to keep himself sane. Pinkiana watched him as he walked around with ponies that were created from the depths of his mind. But it was saddening to know that all of this wasn't real. And it hurt her every time she had to remind Radiant Tear. His mind seemed to break apart everything he would create and had to start again from scratch. It also hurt Radiant, living life inside his mind. He would make friends with somepony. But just like in real life, they had an end. It saddened him that his creations would meet an untimely end.

This whole journey was the epitome of eternity. Radiant Tear learned all he had to know many centuries ago, but it seemed that all hope of finding another home was lost. He was just in his house atop of a little mountain, along with his lover, Leafy Leaves, a pony created from the depths of his mind. She was a nice pony, for she took care of Nature's pets and Nature itself. They were eating dinner when Pinkiana came into the dining room.

"Pinkiana! Such a pleasure to meet you. How are you?" Leafy Leaves cheerfully said, bowing her head a little.

"I'm fine, but I need to talk to Radiant Tear for a moment. It's very important." Pinkiana said, with a little shaky voice. Radiant sensed the aura she was giving off. He stood up and walked out of room, sitting out on the porch.

"What is it you want to talk about?" Radiant Tear asked, curious on what Pinkiana has to say.

"I checked outside of the pod. Scanners are lighting up. We found a habitable planet."

".............." Radiant Tear was silent. But a grin was plastered on his face. No one, not even Pinkiana could feel the joy he felt. He could finally be with something, or better yet, somepony.

"The Life Scanner detected life. I will not spoil the surprise for you. But we can finally have a home!"

"How long until we land? It can't be that long since you've no doubt set course for that planet."

"It will be in a few hours. Say your goodbyes to your creations. Your mind needs to be clear of all thoughts of this reality, or else you'll view reality as this. And it is extensively bad. I seen it happen during tests of this pod." Pinkiana saw his face change into a sorrowful mood. It's understandable, seeing that you have played God for centuries and have to kill your own creations, and put them back into your mind. Radiant Tear flew up, his horn glowing with a vicious aura. Deadly magic spat out of his horn, destroying everything at a molecular level. The only thing left was his house, that collapsed with the mountain. Leafy Leaves crawled out and sees the whole environment turn into a gym. The place where Radiant Tear first lived out his years learning.

"Honey?! What did you do? Why is everypony gone?!" Leafy said, covered in bruises and splinters of the wooden house. Radiant Tear walked up to her and tears splashed down in front of his lover, a creation of his mind.

"I have to leave you know. We've been together for a long time, but now it's my time to leave. You see, I'm-"

"God? Oh please...no...no no no! Why?! Why are you killing your own world!?"

"This world is just a place to keep me sane. I am not a god, but all of you ponies here saw me as a god; though none of you thought I was God." his horn glowed and her soul floated out of her body.

"Radiant...I will never forget you. I hope you are happy wherever you may be." She said, tears falling as she ascended upward. Pinkiana stepped up to him, looking scared.

"Uhhh...we have a problem. It seems that when that door malfunctioned, it kinda spread around. So the container is sealed, but you will be able to thaw out once it opens." Radiant Tear looked scared. He was terrified at a thought that struck him.

"What if we have another 1000 years to be discovered?! How intelligent are these creatures!?" Radiant yelled.

"I don't know! The Life Scanner doesn't show us intelligence, it shows what type of life they have. It's fully evolved though, so they might be intelligent, but not as us though." Pinkiana reassured him. He sighed. He doesn't want to be trapped for many more days or hours, or worse, years. All he can do is squeeze his eyes and yell.

"HELP!!!!!!!"

It was a lovely night on Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle and her new friends gazed up toward the sky, having a little party of their own on top of a hill. Pinkie Pie made the plans, Applejack created the snacks, Rarity made the ever so lovely decorations, Fluttershy was just enjoying the starlight, and Rainbow Dash gracefully flew into the dark skies. But Spike? Well, baby dragons need their sleep. And it was their time to celebrate the defeat of Nightmare Moon.

"Now would you look at that? Shooting stars!" Applejack said in a tone of awe. They all looked up and saw streaks of light sweeping across the sky.

"Pfft, I could go faster than that! Watch this!" Rainbow Dash boasted, dashing off into the sky. She sees one particular streak and catches up to it. She looks at it, smiling at the challenge, but realizes this one was heading for her, and fast. She abruptly stopped and watched it land into the Everfree Forest, making a small earthquake. Rainbow Dash raced back to her friends, seeing them either on their stomachs or on their backs.

"What on Earth made that dreadful quake!?" Rarity managed to say, despite being shaken around a lot.

"It made my voice sound funny!" Pinkie Pie cheerfully said.

"Rainbow Dash, did you see what made that?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"It landed in the Everfree Forest! I'll show you!" Rainbow Dash flew toward the crash site, with her friends following her. When they got to the scene, there was a small crater and inside it, a big metallic ball, with one window jutting out a bit. They carefully approached the foreign object, curious as to what's inside it.

"Umm...it looks a bit scary..." Fluttershy mumbled, backing away.

"Hmm...it ain't openin'. Let me try buckin' the door off." Applejack said. Everypony backed away and she hoof kicked the door. Nothing happened. She tried bucking it at many angles but it barely nudged.

"Hmmm...let me see what's inside." Twilight placed her face against the window and her horn lit up, showing what's inside of this space object. "Guys, this is a space pod! There are beds in there!" She exclaimed, looking around in awe. She looked around more and saw a big red button on a console attached to the wall. She thought and used her magic to push the button. The walls weren't magic-proof and the button was pressed. The pod clicked and a soft noise was heard. The door leaned over and it fell off of it's hinges. Twilight and her friends ran out of the crater, expecting something to come out of it. 5 minutes passed, and nothing came out of the pod.

"Maybe we should check what's inside...I hope it's a cute creature!" Fluttershy said softly.

"A cute creature? From up in space? It's highly unlikely." Rarity said, in disgust of a thought. Fluttershy hugging a green slime monster. Ugh, the thought sickened her.

"C'mon! I wanna see what's inside!" Pinkie Pie cheerfully said, hopping up and down toward the space pod. They all followed and went inside. They looked and gasped at all of the advanced technologies they have never seen before.

"Why...this is way more advanced than what I saw at Manehattan." Applejack managed to say. They all looked at the sign above the container beds. Cryopod 1...Cryopod 2...Cryopod 3. Only 3 of these containers. They saw something inside of the 3rd cryopod and took a look.

"What the hay?!" Applejack gasped.

"Oh...my..." Fluttershy mumbled. Rarity fainted.

"Mother of Celestia..."Twilight exclaimed

"Are you kidding me?!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Another pony? A pony up in space?! This calls for another party!" Pinkie Pie cheerfully said.

"No time Pinkie Pie. He seems to be frozen in this pod. We need to-" a little electronic noise plus glowing interrupted her thoughts. There was a pink ghost that seemed to emanate from the ground. But when Twilight looked closer, it was the complex technology of this pod that made it appear.

"Hello...My name is A.I Pinkiana. You have no doubt seen this kind of technology before. But I digress, that young pony in there is named Radiant Tear. He has been in there for the longest time." Pinkiana walked up the the pod and examined closely. The six ponies couldn't help but stay silent. "He's now a grown colt, and his story is very sad. But a new chapter will open up to him...I hope that you all can help him in our quest in preserving our knowledge of our universe."

"Umm...Pinkiana, is it? How are you forming from the ground?" Twilight Sparkle asked. Pinkiana giggled.

"Technology is far more advanced than you think. It's a bit complicated for me to explain. I'll let you six be taught by him. This space pod has data banks of all our knowledge, but I sense no technological equipment on this planet that can install them. Now...you, white pony with the lovely mane. Please press that yellow button behind you. It will release him from his frozen prison." Pinkiana asked. Rarity looked behind her and saw the button. She slowly pressed it and the container slowly opened. They see a pony, his black hair curling at the ends and covering a bit of his face. A red cape covering his back and wrapping around his neck. He finally thaws and awaken from his eternal slumber, but his vision was blurry. But he can make out what he saw.

"Other ponies?! No...no I have to be dreaming...It has to be a horrible prank Pinkiana is doing..." Radiant Tear said, then gasping. He heard his voice. His true voice. It was a bit deeper than how he remembered it. His vision cleared up and he saw all 6 ponies that released him from the cryopod.

"Hello Radiant Tear...I'm Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends! Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy." Twilight introduced herself and her friends.

"Hi there!" Pinkie Pie cheerfully exclaimed.

"Pleasure to make yer acquaintance." Applejack said shaking his numb hooves.

"A fine honor to meet you." Rarity bowed a bit.

"Nice to meet you Radiant!" Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Umm...hi." Fluttershy mumbled.

"..............Oh my...Pinkiana. This was the surprise? A colonies of ponies on another planet?" Radiant looked at Pinkiana. She smiled and shook her head.

"This planet has insufficient technology to start a colony on other planets." Pinkiana told him. He grunted and tried to stand, but he fell and landed on his stomach. Everypony went up to him to see if he's alright. He started sniffing and tears formed in his eyes.

"Radiant Tear, please don't cry. I know it hurts but you-"

"It's not that...I'm crying tears of joy. It's overwhelming for me to find other ponies in another universe. I've been trapped in that pod for...for over a thousand years." all the ponies, except, of course, for Pinkiana, gasped.

"How did you know it was for a thousand years? It must be a bore living throughout all that time!" Rarity commented. Radiant Tear managed to stand up now, still wobbling around.

"Ow...well, this pod has all knowledge of what is known to my fellow mares and colts in the other universe. I was deep in my mind, with a wire connecting into my brain. She was able to get in my mind and teach me all there was for...many years. But the boredom, seeing nothing but blank walls, books, and pictures from what I've learned and remembered drove me into insanity!" Radiant's eyes started to swell a bit in the amount of tears he's holding back. "All you six...my new friends...I...I..." He ran up to Rarity, being the pony next to him, and hugged her tightly. Rarity couldn't help but feel the atmosphere around him. His tears slipped, hitting the cold, metallic floor. Everypony walked up to him and had a group hug. Under his cape, a sign appeared. A simple tear, with the shine of a sun around it.

Reader, put yourself in his shoes, mind, whatever fits for you. You lose everything, love of your parents, kindness of an unknown stranger, your home, in a blink of an eye. And you have but one friend to accompany you. She teaches you all there is and all that's known. You lose sanity, lose hope that you'll never see reality ever again. She helps you stay as sane as possible, forcing you to play God and create other creatures to accompany your time. But everything has a time to go. Even in his mind, he would lose friends, pets even. But what he didn't know was that Pinkiana was teaching him the importance of life. We all take things for granted and don't appreciate what we have. Radiant Tear loved his parents and his home, but when during his education, all he wanted was to be with his parents. He wanted to die.

Pinkiana thought he was glad to have survived, but seeing that he just wanted his parents, she had to teach him to appreciate what he has now. Simply, enjoying the little things you have. She wanted him, for the sake of keeping his sanity, to be a content colt. It took her a long time and when he had to leave Leafy Leaves, she thought he failed her test. But witnessing the scene before her, she has succeeded her objective. She has to go into hibernation.

"Radiant Tear...it was nice educating you in the arts of knowledge, but it's time for me to hibernate. I need to save batteries or else I'd permanently die out." Pinkiana said. Radiant turned around and looked at her. He had a sad face instead of the happiness he recently found. But he nodded and smiled.

"Pinkiana...thank you. I'll make sure that I help out my fellow ponies on this planet. I hope to make it that you would come back to us. Thank you...for making me the content colt I am now..." He said, slipping out tears.

"Thank you for performing to my expectations. My primary objective is complete. Goodbye Radiant Tear..." Pinkiana closed her eyes and faded away into the ground. He resisted the tears and wiped them off. But in a distance, he heard her voice echo in the darkness of the night...and the memories of his mind.
